With your big Montana you have more lines running everywhere I guess...
I drain my fresh water tank first and open the hot water spigot when I do this to hopefully drain it down at the same time. Then I hookup my tankless 12VDC air compressor to the city water inlet and then go open each sink spigot to let out water until it starts blowing air.
Once I do that to all my lines then I add a small amount of antifreeze to the p-traps.
Of course where we are at only has a couple of freeze days a year that doesn't last long- warms up the next day...
Using the blow-out is perfect for us doing our off-road camping. Can blow all the water out in five minutes time then refill the next day when it warms up...
Moving the big house around the country like you guys do i would probably have to change what I normally do...
No problems with my method yet...
